18.5's were my jam, especially when Melo won the National Championship in them in the black/white ones. I copped the all black 18.5's after that, still got them in great condition. That's neither here nor there, but I bring that up because I thought the .5s were better than the 18's, maybe not CW-wise, but the fact there was no lace cover made it look more appealing.

I need a zoomed in pic of them cause they look WAY better with that ugly *** strap cut off
Also they need to release all the other Christmas PE kicks, most of them were nice as hell especially Pierces Air Legacys and Thabos Hypergamer lows

those kobe's are ugly IMO....they may look a lil better if they werent cut so low....looks like Kobe could break his ankle if he stood up to fast....they look like colorful dress/bowling shoes! only way to rock these are with pants to cover up the low cut of the shoe.....

You're wrong, but whatever.
XVIII's especially out perform the majority of shoes out today.

Nah the 18 felt like bricks. The base of the shoes is too wide and the shoes has a clunky bottom heavy feel to it. The inner lining is made out of luxurious suede so my foot always slide up and down when i run. Definitely not a good shoes for quick player.

The hell? You know nothing about performing shoes. By the way these are basketball shoes. There are plenty of other option when it come to casual.
